Randy:
There no shuttle, at least not yet.
There are three ways to get to the carribel hilton:
1. Affordable taxi - there are at times organge coloured taxi's close to the hotel. They will cost you about 5$ USD to get to the carribe hilton
2. Official taxi - more like minivan's. They are labelled "taxi touristico" and are also by the hotel. They will cost you about 10 USD to the carribe hilton
3. Walk - It's a about a 15 min walk.
- Exit the hotel
- turn right to walk down Ponce de Leon (avenue)
- once you reach the end of the street, turn left...from there continue walking. you'll cross a bridge. While on the bridge you should see the carribe hilton hotel
- after you've passed the bridge, just follow the street - you'll eventually haev to take the right fork to get to the carribe
Some of the Caribbean At-large members as well as Jacqueline and I are in the "las holas" room - where there is a day long presentation on the status of country domains in the carribean. I believe there will be a presentation from CIRA (the operator of .CA) on or around 3pm.
hope to you see you soon.
regards,
Robert

As an ICANN-meeting virgin I have some questions:
1) What's the dress convention? That is, I expect that many meetings
will be informal (given the temps in June I expect they will NEED to be
casual), but how much -- if any -- of the conference is typically
suit-and-tie formal?
2) Have Jacob or Nick planned any kind of orientation for newcomers?
Tossing us unprepared into a den of bureaucracy and power struggles does
not serve our constituencies -- or the RALO process. Some informal
sessions on "ICANN Culture" would be extremely helpful, as I imagine
that only a shred of the nuances and realities can be expressed well in
(publicly archived :-) ) email. This would be a great opportunity for
the veterans of this list to help us newcomers understand why they're so
damned cynical. :-) As it is we'll be missing the generic "orientation
round table" because that conflicts with the all-day NARALO meeting on
the 24th.
Please can we have this? If room availability is a problem, let's take
it to a restaurant or something. This element of the meeting is as
important to me as many of the other parts. However, if I'm the only one
interested in this, never mind...
3) In the full schedule at http://sanjuan2007.icann.org/schedule/ I note
that some meetings are explicitly listed as closed, yet some are
explicitly listed as open. To what part of this schedule do we common
ALS folk have access?
